[Baron Von Zeppelin]

Here is the original thread about the car and some of the preservation work.
https://forums.maxperformanceinc.com...d.php?t=871459

The aftermarket antenna , wood shift knob , 15" wheels are all distractions to me.
But small things in the full scope overall.
I hate the hood tach , but it's stuck with that.

I'm thinking 75-80k to a well heeled collector.
Possibly more if 2 or 3 or 4 guys really need it.
But these auctions have become completely unpredictable.

I would try BaT before letting it go for less.

Too late now, but Mecum is not the venue
to get the best price for his car in my opinion.

Very surprised that car brought the money that it did.

[Baron Von Zeppelin]

I hyped that Montreux Blue 67 just a little.
It was a carbon copy of the I Dream of Jeannie / Major Nelson 67 GTO Vert.
Plus it was an HO , and a very nice car.
Just the wrong wheels on it


There hasn't been a TriPower GTO Convertible Survivor in the same category of Tedds car on BaT since I have been following the site the last few years.

There was a Red 67 GTO Hardtop Automatic 335hp Survivor in same category on there about 2 years ago. It went for a pretty good price in the 40s or low 50s

Previous thread you started on this car begins with "Just a few pics of a recent purchase..."

So which one is it?

Also, previous thread says you bought from an elderly owner you are personal friends with. Now it's a family member.

Which one is it?

Any other relevant facts you are 'confused' about?

[Tedd930]

Hey Barron … wanted to give you some feed back from today. Friday seems to be quieter than normal ,
It’s extremely hot ! I’ve learned a few things about Mecum …. Number one… YOU CANT use the word survivor in any of your descriptions and they will NOT
Use the word either .. apparently there’s a patten or copy write on the term.. you also can’t say never been offered for sale because they can’t prove that!
It is very well run and the people are friendly.
My car is under a tent. There experts looked at the car and came up with the reserve which actually was more than I thought it would be . They also did a few minute clip on the car . Car should run around 3pm and to keep this in one response the the gentleman commenting on my stupid wiper blades and antenna!!
I never represented this as a show car ! Sorry you’re upset but how’s your 60 yr old paint job interior and drivetrain looking ?? Thank you again Barron for your advice through the process ! Posting a couple of Mecum location pics..

Good luck, hope you get a great number on that fine car. If you edit your pics and slightly crop them they won't show upside down.

[Baron Von Zeppelin]

It's really a 6 figure + GTO to one of the right collectors of early GTOs.
No idea how it will do today .
At least 80k if anyone is serious about it , even a dealer/flipper.

Volo or one of those type dealers would probably glamorously list it for 149k

Best wishes and hope there is a good fight for it.

[Baron Von Zeppelin]

Wow your order number is #232 today.
About 100 more before yours crosses.
It might be dusk by the time yours go through.
Hope some high rollers stick around.

Barron your right!!! Iam falling asleep! And I can tell you there’s a ton of lookers and all the car people are complaining that’s there’s no money .
I don’t even want to tell you what someone offered off the block(( some Mecum vip clients
Buyers) called my family member a spoke to him for like 25 minutes about the car . Not sure if they are serious buyers. As much as we want the car sold we’re not gonna give it away… Barron what do think Rock rock bottom should be ??

[Tedd930]

Doing a segment on car

[Baron Von Zeppelin]

I'd do a rock bottom of 90-95 for a private sale . maybe .
100 minimum to a dealer

There are plenty of restored 66s out there
Not many unrestored 66s worthy of a museum

[Baron Von Zeppelin]

It looked wonky on the block.
Like it had no engine up front and sandbags in the rear.
Very sparse bidders in audience.

Next guy will make bank on the car... think it said reserve off at 65 and hammered at 68k.
Doesn't matter as long as your uncle is satisfied.

Salute to him for keeping it the way he did for so long.

Would have pulled minimum of 80 on BaT

[Trulyvintage]

Reserve lifted at 65K
Hammer dropped at 68K





Jim

[Baron Von Zeppelin]

That was fairly well restored hardtop money.
Maybe Tedd or his uncle bought it back.

[GOAT8U2]

Someone got a good deal.

Not sure who recommended keeping the top UP but that was sad to see for the seller.

Thought they might've sucked him in on lifting the reserve but it went like $7k higher so that wasn't that bad.

[Baron Von Zeppelin]

They lifted at 65 , then it hammered at 68
74,800 was after the 10% juice.

I think sellers cough up 5% of hammer , but sometimes they will waive that if they agree to lower or remove the reserve.

Tons of RNM cars at this event.
The only Pontiac that did well was a 65 Catalina - 2+2 clone - 421 HO 4spd.

I agree, the stance on the block was disturbing.

[GOAT8U2]

They had a huge bin in the trunk, another odd visual choice, it's probably documents etc but give that away after since it looked like a low rider.

We should bet, I really think it got stuck around $60- $61 then lifted and it jumped.
